lyrics

When I'm above ground I miss the basement
The burnt out bulbs and awkward placement
Of things I thought I lost
But didn't

So come on down to 504
Step past this massive crooked door
With bolts and mold peeking through the paint
Light but faint
One holds fast while the other dies
Young

Cause down here I hold on to something slippery
While you march march march you know what's good for me
I'll lay away this gray-green book
Like the saint's demand he took took took
And I'll always know just where to look
For crocheted hats
And red plaid caps
And all the hours spent collecting
Fake flowers

So come on down to 504
Step past this massive crooked door
With yellow pine peeking through the paint
Light but faint
We both hold fast
And our stories are
Sung

So there's no use holding on to this misery
I'll march march march I know what's good for me
I'll lay away this grey-green book
Next to the cones we shook shook shook
While you took me down that laurel path
Discussing all your fragile crafts
And I always loved the hours
Spent talking to you mom's
Fake flowers

So maybe it's time I shut the shed up
Embraced this newfound lonesome getup
Cause I saw that movie the other day
And if someone told me it ends this way
I'd believe them

Or maybe it's time I held my head up
Embraced this can't be bothered getup
Cause I saw my friend the other day
And if someone told me it starts this way
I'd believe them
